Remember the first time you learned about the Internet? Hopefully, it didn’t take place while you were on live TV. This vintage 1994 clip of the TODAY Show exposes former TODAY Show hosts Katie Couric, Bryant Gumble, and Elizabeth Vargas talking about this new “Internet” thing and a weird “@” symbol. They even debate whether or not the “@” stands for “about” or “at”?
